Scrap Around The World's Epic Event!

This month we are excited to announce that we are one of the TEN EPIC EVENT ANNIVERSARY event sponsors at Scrap Around The World and we are also one of their Guest Design Teams for this wonderful event! We'll share a photo of the prize we re offering at the bottom of this post...

Lisa Novogrodski is also representing us as one of the 10 chosen Guest Judges!  We are so excited to be involved in this great event, celebrating SATW’s First Birthday! 

Visit  Scrap Around The World's Blog to get the details!

 This is no ordinary month at Scrap Around the World.  9 out of 10 of the prizes awarded will be going to past Winners, Features or Finalists (those featured on their legendary Wall of Fame in the past year) & one prize will be awarded to a totally NEW winner {someone who has never featured on their Wall of Fame before}.  This is so that TEN EPIC WINNERS can be selected as the TOP TEN PLAYERS of 2013/14 at Scrap Around The World!  

This is the beautiful Mood Board for this event, and you can find the rules/guidelines and submit your entry HERE.

This will be a yearly competition held at this fantastic challenge blog & we are honored to be a part of this inaugural event.  Please support Helen & her team at SATW by playing along this month.  There are 10 prizes, each valued at approximately $100 up for grabs, including free postage as usual, so it is so worth it, plus the inspiration is amazing

This is the beautiful prize we will be sending to one lucky winner!

 

We hope you'll visit Scrap Around The World and send in an entry, we can't wait to see all the gorgeous work everyone does!

And I thought I'd just share a couple of layouts 2 of the ladies on our Design Team did with the kit today - they're so beautiful, I couldn't help myself!

This is Renea Harrison's take on the sketch Suepup created for us for this kit:

She used the Kaisercraft Template in the embellishment add on, and the Liquitex Sand Texture Gel in the Creativity add on, and the results are just amazing!

And Kathy Mosher created this fabulous layout with the kit:

Just look at all that gorgeous layering, and the fishnet she added is the perfect touch!
